El Salvador Debuts 'Mega Prison' for Thousands of Suspected Gang Members
El Salvador on Friday moved the first 2,000 inmates to the new Center for the Confinement of Terrorism (CECOT), a 40,000-bed “mega prison” larger than all 20 of the country’s existing prisons combined. Over 64,000 suspects have been arrested so far in President Nayib Bukele’s crackdown on gang violence.
